These Russian morons come on here and deny their use of the Soviet flag....hilarious!

And of course you’re supposed to believe their propaganda instead of the countless pics and videos.

That’s the unit that captured the Reichstag and planted the flag at the end of WWII. They still use that flag for that specific unit because of that.

But Comrade Bob, do you not see the yellow hammers and sickles on those flags? How could you not? They are clearly visible.

Their gaslighting is laughable...in demanding that people disbelieve their lying eyes.

US State Dept. under Biden = Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan = liars, propagandists, globalists and agents of "the liberal world order".

The majority in Kherson willing vote to become part of the Russian Federation or independent from Kiev. The majority will be far better off under Russian rule. Those that don't like can wander back across the Dnieper river into Soros and neo-Nazi land.

What's left of Ukraine either surrenders and remains neutral or Ukraine will cease existing and be divided up among Russia, Poland and, perhaps, Hungary.

Maybe if you russian douchebags spent time bettering you’re own nation, you wouldn’t go around destroying everyone elses.

Maybe if you neocons and globalists wouldn't have stuck your noses in Ukraine, the nation wouldn't be shrinking and tens of thousand wouldn't be dead.

I'd rather called a Russian than a cheerleader for the Biden regime and "liberal world order".

What happened in Ukraine is absolutely, 100% the result of the meddling we've done in Ukraine under Obama and Biden, specifically under Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan.

We fomented a revolution, with Lindsey Graham and John McCain egging on neo-Nazis, that caused an eight-year civil war and led to the persecution and genocide of the ethnic Russian population.

We armed Ukraine with offensive weapons and were running biolabs with deadly pathogens in them, something we sure as hell wouldn't tolerate if Russia or China were doing the same thing in Mexico.

The Russians came to us in December trying avoid this war. All the wanted was guarantee Ukraine wouldn't join NATO, would remain neutral and abide by the Minsk Agreement, which it signed would have allowed state-like autonomy for Donetsk and Lugansk.

This wouldn't be happening under Trump. Trump has repeatedly said we should have negotiated an end to this war. But, the globalists and neocons WANTED this war to occur in order to stick to Putin and Russia no matter how much the people of Ukraine suffered.

Russia has a 13% flat-tax rate. It's been spending $2.5 billion in recent years building churches. And, the Russians have banned George Soros and his organizations from their country.

What is Soviet or communist about modern-day Russia?

What is true, though, is that Ukraine is the heart of neo-Nazism in world. There are more than 150 monuments and/or streets honoring Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera. Little kids are even forced to sing songs about Bandera.

What you're conveniently leaving out is the fact that the Ukrainian army relied heavily on the Azov regiment to fight this war and the Azovs are flying flags with swastikas on them. There are Azov members with pictures of Hitler and other Nazis symbols on their bodies.

So, the Russians certain view this as a redo of WWII. And, in WWII, even we aligned with the Soviets to defeat the Nazis.

You have it ass backward -- I'm an enemy of globalism and neoconism, both of which, unnecessarily have turned Russia into our enemy, pushed the Russians into an alliance with China and started a sanction war we're getting the worst end of.

You just don't get it. As Biden advisor Brian Deese said, this war is about defending "the liberal world order" and all the money the elites make from it, including in Ukraine, which has been a playground for Bidens, Clintons and George Soros.

You don’t get it.

Russia turned itself into an enemy and has everyone against you. Ukrainians are rising up and fighting against you. They don’t want you in their country. Nobody wants you in their country. Primarily because your country and the people in it are douchebags. Your people are not constructive.

Why not just get the f out and work on your own shithole country?

From what I’ve read, the battle flag of the Revolution has the same meaning in Russia as our various battle flags do in parts of the USA.

Russians see the hammer & sickle as representing workers and farmers. Perhaps something like the DFL in Minnesota.

Same for the red star, which is all over their country.

It is their history.

They survived communism and the majority do not want it again. Close to 90% support Putin and something similar support the military operation.

It’s all available at Britannica.com.
